A year ago today I found out I was pregnant with our precious boy! What a difference a year makes. Here is a photo of me about a week before Henry was born. I am certain people only want to see pictures of Henry, but I suppose this is part of his life and times.

Family members who’ve visited this site have mentioned how much they enjoy seeing videos of Henry and we’ll try to post more. One of the challenges of getting good photos in general and video in particular is catching him unaware. As these photos show, sometimes the closer the camera gets, the less expressive he becomes. He’s not exactly camera shy, more like camera curious. Like when he notices the camera, he wants to know the aperture setting and shutter speed.

Henry’s main gift was delivered yesterday— it’s a colorful striped rug for his room. We figure he’ll spend a lot of time on the floor during the next stage of his development when he starts crawling. It also really ties the room together.
